Life imitating writing, imitating life, imitating not writing

This has been one of those days and it isn't over. Finishing notes for a Grange meeting that comes tonight has cut into my blog posting plans. A bit of learning on some "social media" also cut into my blog posting plans. It's great to be social in both media and face-to-face situations, but I do tend to get frustrated when life interferes with regular writing tasks. It's that same old balance writers face. We can't be hermits or we'll have no real life to pull from when we write. But we need that hermitage in our life too, that place, or places, where we can dig in and craft words into messages and stories and artistic conundrums. For now, I'll have to be content to tuck a few words into my thought pockets and run off to mingle with the crowd.
